Ingredients
- 2 Chocolate cakes Round, Dimensions: 6x3 each
- 3 cups Chocolate ganache frosting Can use chocolate truffles instead
- 15 No bake energy balls
- 40 Pretzel rods
- 2 Chocolate bars Cut into small square pieces
Instructions
- Bake chocolate cakes and allow them to cool completely.
- While cakes are baking and cooling, prepare the frosting and energy balls.
- Trim the domes of the cake and level them.
- Place one cake on a serving dish.
- Spread frosting on top smoothly.
- Place the other cake on top of the icing.
- Ice the entire cake in frosting.
- Start sticking pretzel rods around your cake. The frosting acts like a glue and holds the pretzels in place.
- Wrap a brown ribbon around the cake for extra security.
- Next, arrange the energy balls on the top of the cake in somewhat of a dome shape. If you like, you can stick them to each other with some melted chocolate so that they don't move around.
- Place some chocolate squares in between the energy balls. Enjoy!
